Effects of master plans on infrastructure coverage: São Paulo State as a case of study

Abstract

Federal Law 10.257/2001 - in its second article - advocates the right to sustainable cities through, for example, the right to urban land, housing, environmental sanitation and, not least, urban infrastructure. Therefore, this article aims to investigate the correlation between master plans and urban infrastructure. The aim was to understand, albeit briefly, the effects of local planning policies on the quality of urban infrastructure. In order to achieve this we have processed and analyzed the data from the survey “Profile of Brazilian Municipalities” (MUNIC) between 2004 and 2013. The analyzes are supplemented with information from Municipalities of the state of Sao Paulo (IMP), from the State System Foundation for Data Analysis (SEADE) in Sao Paulo. The available data allowed us to quickly create a synthetic indicator that cover different areas: water, sewage, solid waste, energy, etc. Finally yet importantly, we have decided to perform the statistical analysis using the R software, correlating both variables through the point-biserial coefficient.
